I've been reading a lot of paranormal and cozy mystery books lately and was looking for a change of pace. This book was short and informative. The book discusses the so called "27 club curse". A club that no one wants to join, yet far too many celebrities have been inducted into it.
The chapters are short and made for an easy read. I only gave it 4 stars because most of the information can be found online although it is compiled here in a way that's easy to read with the author speaking about different factors that might have led to their deaths. He also give the all too asked question of "what if"? Each story starting with their rise to fame and ending with their sad passing.
Within this book you'll find the big ones, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Janis Joplin, along with ones Id never heard of before and ended up googling while reading. The ending of the book is a collection of superstitions and beliefs amongst other cultures with the importance of the number 27.
All in all, its not a bad read. Honestly, the only one of the 20 that the author talks about that I was really interested in was "The Elephant Man". Such a sad and difficult life. If this is a "club" you've never heard of, it might be worth taking the time to read. I received this book free from Booksirens for an honest review.
